Day Trip

Since we never actually made it to Six Mile Pond we decided to make a day trip in August, the weekend after school started.  We just took the truck and fishing gear.  It wasn't like fishing last year.  We had to have a little more patience but we ended up catching about 8 fish.  Jake was much better about catching and releasing.  He also caught the biggest fish.  It was so big he couldn't get his hands around it and he kept dropping it.

                                              Emily caught the first fish right away!

     
  So on the way home we decided to go home a different way and end up in Ephraim.  Everyone says it is shorter with lots of signs to tell the way.  Well if it wasn't the first day of elk hunting we would have been wondering on the top of the mountain all night.  It was more like an atv trail in many spots and we did a little 4 wheeling through mud to avoid a snow blocked road.   We very seldom take the unbeaten path and I'd say we're going to stick with our well known paths from now on.  It took us two hours to get to Ephraim.  We could have been home and showered by that time.

This is every kids dream of a candy store.  The kids were in awe.  They had a hard time choosing.  Way too many choices.
